Rekeying changes the internal pins of your existing lock so old keys no longer work - but the lock itself stays. It's cheaper and just as secure. Replacing the lock means swapping it out completely. Autoserv - Emergency Locksmith can help you decide which makes sense based on your goals and budget.
Our pricing includes a standard service call plus the work. Emergency jobs at 2 a.m. may cost more than a daytime rekey, but we'll always tell you up front. No hidden fees, no shady "weekend premiums". That's not how we work.
Yes - we'll ask the right questions to give you a range. Once the technician sees the exact situation, we'll confirm the final price before we start. Autoserv - Emergency Locksmith believes in clear, honest pricing - no bait and switch.
